Learn to Swim

From infants to adult classes

Learn to Swim

JM Robson Aquatic Centre believes that swimming and water safety is essential to your child’s education. Swimming should be enjoyable, safe and a fun experience that will help your child improve their cardio-vascular fitness, strength, flexibility and coordination, so to benefit their day to day and sporting life.

Our dedicated swim teachers treat their job as a vocation not just a casual job. They thrive on the accomplishments of their students while having a bit of fun along the way. All our teachers are Austswim qualified and hold current resuscitation certificates.

JM Robson Aquatic Centre runs a comprehensive learn to swim program over 6 days a week. Classes range from infant aquatics through to stroke development and even adult lessons.

Our lessons are ½ an hour once a week for the minimum duration of 10 weeks.
